I have a more considered post waiting in the wings with content generated by me instead of a mishmash of re-posted stuff, but that's just going to have to wait because my brain, she has been taken by the midterms. In lieu of an actual post I offer this quote to ponder:
Michael Miner, writing in the Chicago Reader: "The Internet pelts us with news; a good newspaper arranges it in our heads." [Originally from here].
And, in closing, here's a creative video to stimulate the imagination:
Pop culture and other random things I write about when I probably ought to be doing something else
About Me
"It was said that one might wander days and nights together through its intricate tangle of rifts and chasms, and never find the end of the cave; and that he might go down, and down, and still down, into the earth, and it was just the same - labyrinth underneath labyrinth, and no end to any of them. No man 'knew' the cave. That was an impossible thing. Most of the young men knew a portion of it, and it was not customary to venture much beyond this known portion. Tom Sawyer knew as much of the cave as any one." -The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
I'm fascinated with pop culture and often have these related half-baked ideas and connections floating around in my head. The culture-to-cave comparison seemed adequate, particularly while I was re-reading Tom Sawyer. I figure that I know as much about "pop culture" as the next person, so why not explore?

I loved this video, thanks for sharing. I love that she sleeps through the whole thing and that the movements while dancing and walking are a little goofy.
